FOUR FASHION CITIES TO VISIT NOW

Fashion

Add these four fashion capitals to your little black book of style and pay them a visit this summer

Ingolstadt Village

1. BERLIN

Berlin Fashion Week may only be a week long, but the city’s glam-meets-gritty spirit lives on all year. Brimming with style chameleons and full-time creatives, you’ll find style inspiration everywhere wherever you look. If you want to fit in with the cool kids, remember to pack your worn-in Dr. Martens and oversized trench coat.

MUST-SEE: Don’t leave town without stopping by trendy Kreuzberg and neighbouring Neukölln – they are magnets for bohemians and vintage-fashion devotees.

2. MILAN

A constant source of hidden gems, Milan is a fashion-forward getaway that’s not to be missed if you’re sartorially inclined. Home to the third-largest fashion week in the world, the city has established itself as the go-to destination for the A-list crowd. When it comes to street style, you can’t miss the scene-stealers and larger-than-life trendsetters, all paying homage to the city’s stylish heritage.

If you keep up with all that is ‘Scandi cool’, Copenhagen will already be on your style radar. With It-girl Pernille Teisbaek and cult brand Ganni calling the chic city home, Copenhagen doesn’t disappoint. Expect to see minimalist but meticulous outfits with refined accessories as you stroll or cycle through the cobbled streets.

MUST-SEE: For a dose of Danish design, head to Nørrebro – dubbed Copenhagen’s coolest neighbourhood – for a little people watching.

4. LONDON

The birthplace of Kate Moss, Mary Quant and Marianne Faithfull, it’s no wonder that London has spirited style in its DNA. Expect to see statement T-shirts, elevated outerwear and a masterclass in sports luxe – from logo hoodies to head-to-toe tracksuits.

MUST-SEE: Head to Fashion Week hub Soho for the most stylish places to drink, dine and stay. Ham Yard Hotel, which features a bowling alley, library, roof garden, coffee shop, theatre and bar, is always a popular choice.
